Analysis Of The Principle That Grip Strength Is Proportional To Tension

When the tensile force on the conductor increases, the internal wedge of type dead end clamp with eye hook tightens its grip by embedding more firmly into the conductor or aluminum strand, thereby increasing the grip strength and maintaining a stable grip strength/tension ratio under ideal conditions. The grip strength specification for this type of type dead end loop clamp is typically stated as "not less than 90% of the rated tensile strength of the installed conductor or lightning protection wire".
